2024 maryland primary: live returns from baltimore, congressional races, school boards, things to do entertainment, comedian dave chappelle to perform two shows to mark 10th anniversary of live casino in hanover.

Comedian and Maryland native Dave Chappelle is set to perform two shows at The Hall at Live! to mark the 10th anniversary of the Live! Casino and Hotel Maryland in Hanover.

Chappelle brings his “In Your Dreams” concert tour to the venue Saturday, June 18, and Sunday, June 19, which is also Father’s Day.

The last time Chappelle, who grew up in Silver Spring, performed in the area was in October 2019 when he accepted the Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement at the Kennedy Center. In 2018, he did two shows at The Lyric in Baltimore.

During the pandemic, the often salty comedian has regularly performed closer to his home in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and on Netflix specials, which have drawn some controversy.

The 300,000-square-foot Maryland Live! Casino opened near the Arundel Mills mall on June 6, 2012. Since then the property has expanded to include a 17-story hotel, restaurants, sports betting, and a 4,800-seat concert venue, which has regularly attracted headliners since its opening in 2020.

In addition to Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld and Wanda Sykes are scheduled to perform at The Hall at Live! .

Tickets for Chappelle will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m., with a presale being offered starting Thursday at 10 a.m. Ticket prices range from $89.99 to $244.99.

Comedian Dave Chappelle Set To Perform 2 Baltimore Shows In June

May 22, 2018 / 12:55 PM EDT / CBS Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- This isn't a joke. Comedian Dave Chappelle is coming to Charm City next month to perform two shows.

The Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric announced Tuesday that the star of Comedy Central's "Chappelle's Show," will perform June 8-9 in Baltimore.

In 2005, Chappelle walked away from his sketch comedy show   on Comedy Central. During the 8 years that followed, he performed pop-up stand-up dates, made occasional television appearances, and toured throughout the United States, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada and Australia.

In March 2017, Chappelle returned to television via Netflix with two stand-up specials.

Tickets are set to go on sale Friday, May 25 and range from $69.50 - $89.50.

No cellphones, cameras or recording devices will be allowed at the show, according to The Modell Lyric. Upon arrival, all phones and smart watches will be secured in pouches that will be unlocked at the end of the show. Guests maintain possession of their phones throughout the night, and if needed, may access their phones at designated unlocking stations in the lobby. Anyone caught with a cellphone in the venue will be immediately ejected.

Dave Chappelle is the latest comedian to rib Baltimore, but his jokes are actually funny

Baltimore is the center of comedic attention yet again.

Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special “The Dreamer” was released on New Year’s Eve and is currently sitting at No. 2 on the streaming platform’s Top 10 TV shows. In it, the comedian takes aim at Charm City.

As a Washington, D.C., native, Chappelle is probably more familiar with the city to the north than, say, a white comedian like Matt Rife from Columbus, Ohio — despite both of them filming their respective comedy specials in the District. And unlike Rife, while Chappelle’s joke was harsh, the material was original.

“You guys are from D.C. so you know … you know about Baltimore. We all know that through the years D.C. has been through some very, very tough times. Sadly, Baltimore is still in a very tough time,” Chappelle told the crowd. “Not everybody in the world can really understand the depth of Baltimore. Baltimore is so desperate that Tupac and his mother moved from Baltimore to Oakland for a better life,” referring to the hip-hop legend’s short time in the city before packing up for the West Coast.

Matt Rife’s Netflix special takes aim at Baltimore — and utterly misses

Five good reasons to make fun of baltimore that don’t include crab or crack, chris rock’s live netflix special: the baltimore (and jada pinkett smith) of it all.

“And Chris Rock went so hard in the paint. I can’t believe he did this, he shocked a Baltimore crowd. I didn’t even know that was possible,” Chappelle added. Chris Rock filmed a live stand-up special in Baltimore last year for Netflix, during which he publicly addressed for the first time Will Smith slapping him at the Oscars. (As columnist Leslie Gray Streeter pointed out, it was probably no coincidence that Rock chose to do the show in the city Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, called home for many years.)

“You know what he [Rock] said that got them?” Chappelle asked the D.C. audience. “He looked at the crowd — all Black, Baltimore Black. Even if you rich and Black in Baltimore, you know them n---as is traumatized about something. And Chris shocked them and this is what he said. He went to that crowd, — that crowd — he said: ‘I refuse to be a victim.’ The crowd said ‘Ah’. And I was backstage looking like ... ‘N---a, watch the tape.” The crowd laughed as Chappelle slowly shook his head.

Despite being the latest comedian to put Baltimore in the crosshairs, Chappelle’s jokes were more embraced by local viewers, though.

Rife’s recent attempts to poke fun at Baltimore were met with more criticism than laughter. Rife joked about domestic violence, poked fun at locking car doors and called the city “ratchet.” Several viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss their displeasure with Rife mentioning domestic abuse in jest and his lack of a connection to the city.

Chappelle still isn’t off scot-free, though. He has come under fire (again) for his comments regarding the transgender community in this special. The comedian’s frequent jokes about transgender people over the years have been controversial, so much so that his 2021 Netflix special “The Closer” caused the streaming company’s employees to walk out and protest in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.

At the rate that it’s going, we’re sure there will be more comedians who joke about our fair city in the coming months. Let’s just hope that the jokes follow the trend of Chappelle’s and are actually funny.
